TR was punted to the vice presidency to get him out of New York because he was too radical. Johnson and JFK pushed through some of the most progressive civil rights and anti poverty measures this country has ever seen. By today’s standards all three would 100% be considered radicals, and were considered so by their contemporaries. Edit: I didn’t say what I want to happen, just what I thought was most likely. Strange reason to downvote Edit 2: I think Vietnam weighs heavily on LBJ and JFK. I personally lay that on the feet of the military industrial complex coopting an inexperienced JFK, and LBJ doing everything he could to see through his predecessors policies.
